I find class participation is a good for getting to know one another. When my students have group projects it bonds the students and they enjoy it very much. It spices up subjects the students think are boring. Once they become involved that particular subject is now a favorite.

Developing a course outline is very important. Its a guide for you and the students. If a student miss class for any reason the outline will keep them on course and allow the instructor to stay on track. My students love the outline because it's detailed and if I'm not around for questions they can refer to the outline. I also use my past outlines to improve my future outlines. Education evolves and so does my outline with new material and learning tools.

The instructor is the leader and what you do is closely watched by students who want to follow in your footsteps. Being in control and organized sets a great example for the students. Having your course outline, study guide, informational materials, field trips, quizzes, etc reflects to the students that you care about them. A unorganized instructor projects a confused person. A classroom unorganized seems unfocused and all over the place. Therefore to be well organized in a well organized class speaks commitment, good teaching and a place for good learning.

This course provided me with great examples and reference points on how to be prepared in the classroom, and to achieve overall success in course planing and delivery.

I agree with knowing who are you audience and what to teach gives you a clear idea what to plan.

My classes are 4 hours long. Keeping students interested is a real challenge because some students "get it" quickly and other not so easy. I can't move on until all understands so the ones that understand start getting bored . How do you plan for that?
